Thanks Pete - I've had an awful time with the rebound headaches at times with the Fiorcet. It does work for my headaches at first, but the "rebound" effect hits fairly often. Ugh....
I have a triptan for really bad migraines, and use Toradol injections for when I need to take a break from the Fiorcet. Motrin helps. And I still have Oxycodone and use that, too, but only at night when I'm not working.
In spite of the ketamine, head pain remains a constant battle for me. It's definitely where the worst of my RSD decided to settle. Bummer.
Thanks so much for your reply. XOXOX Sandy

I used to be on Fiorinal too, for many years, even before I got RSD / TOS.
Only prn at that time.
Then, my doctor and I realized that the Fiorinal has caffeine in it. And,, I was getting constant 'rebound' headaches. My doctor did a search in the PDR, and found another med, that was the same make up as Fiorinal, but without the caffeine! It worked much better, but, I'm sorry I cannot remember the name of it.
If it comes to me, I'll PM you.
Also, to 'Don'tTouchIt', methadone has been a mainstay for the 'burning' pain of rsd, for about 20 years now.
Hope this might help, be well!
Pete
